May end up being like that through mid-week, although Tuesday may be the "dry" day before Ida. There's some weird flow going on - the bulk of the stuff backing in from the NE (I think there is a little low that formed) but then motion from the front coming out of the NW trying to push to the SE. The convergence is sparking that rain and keeping it from moving. I've been getting variable stratus and overcast with temp back down to 74 and a dp of 72, so something is trying to push into here.
-
Was just thinking about you. You are now under a FFW. Keep an eye out!
-
Mt. Holly just lofted a FFW for that area (just got it on my weather radio).
-
Bucks County is lighting up! I think it is due to the front that has been dropping in, with it sortof stalled around that area. The temp here has crept up and it is 75 now, after a low of 72, and dp 74.
-
When I was looking at the radar returns the past couple hours, I saw all the flood reports all over and around the Reading metro area and after the earlier deluge (snapshot below from earlier), they still have the FFW up all around there.
-
OMG I had some mutant cell form, bubble up, and undulate right over my area between about 3 am and 4 am, depositing about 1.20" in that time. I am still getting light rain at post time (now at 1.31") and it's 73 with dp 73. This round has taken me to 10.36" of rain for the month of August and there is more possible over the next couple of days, not counting whatever Ida generates.
-
They probably are confused trying to shoe-horn a track in because there's no flow to move the storms around they just sit there and rain and thunder and lightning themselves out and fade... and the bubble up again a little ways away. I suppose that's why they call them "pulse" storms because when one pop up, it'll increase in intensity might suddenly decrease in intensity and then might swell up on one side and shrink on the other, and finally move around in place like an undulating blob.
-
Damn. Maybe it will back-build and morph. I have watched some these cells doing this. The temp has now recovered here and is up to 86 with dp 77. I did just see Mt. Holly's AFD and they did note all the "boundary" traffic in the area - sea breezes, bay breezes, and convection outflows, and the radar is showing them overlapping and intersecting. And then at the intersection points, stuff starts firing up.
-
Sun pretty much full out now and temp is back up to 85 but with dp 79. It's a sauna. Radar is lit up like a Christmas tree with all kinds of boundaries moving around.
-
The sun has been peaking through the haze and the temp recovered to 82 here. But the dp is now 80. I noticed that the current pop-ups have literally been stationary. There doesn't seem to be anything to move them along and they eventually fizzle out.
-
Ended up with 0.08" from getting fringed from a pop-up but it knocked the temp down to 79 now with dp 76.
-
Getting some light rain from a pop-up moving in from the WSW here. So far has tipped the bucket at 0.01". The radar is picking up some wierd out flow boundaries expanded from all sides of the city. Temp is knocked down to 87 but kicked the dp up to 78.
-
You wait till Ida gets up here. She just got her "hurricane wings". I managed to tie my high for the summer so far (93) before dropping back to a current 89 with dp 76. The cirrus had started streaming a couple hours ago and now the cumulus are coming in with stuff starting to pop.
-
I had a 75 low this morning and watched the little pop-ups form and go east of me last night. I figured I could hold off okay given they are forecasting flood-watch type of rain over the next couple days. We shall see. Hit 90 about an hour and a half before noon (#35 since May & #32 for JJA) and currently 90, with dp 77.
-
Looks like TS Ida is here - It may have some rain impact here some time next week moving along a front and we have had a couple "I" storms over the years that had some significant impact on the CWA - e.g., Isabel (2003), Irene (2011), Isaias (2020).
-
So far my high for today has been 93 (#34 since May and #31 for JJA). Currently partly sunny and 92 with some angry cumulus, and a dp. bopping between 76 and 77.
-
My low this morning was 73. I thought I saw the dp was supposed to "mix out" but it sure as hell is sitting at 77 with a current temp of 89, and having gone to the store early this morning, it was definitely noticeable... although I suppose I have slowly adjusted to it somewhat.
-
Made it up to 93 too as a high, right around 2:45 pm. Low was 70 this morning and it's currently 91 with dp 69 and the cumulus have returned to dot the sky!
-
Have hit 90 for a #32 of 90s and above since May (#29 for the J-J-A meteorological summer) just before 2pm. Currently 90 and all blue sky, with dp 70 (and you can definitely feel the heat out there). Hopefully the 5.64" of rain that I had the past 5 days will hold through this upcoming heatwave.
-
My low this morning was a "warmer" 73 and it's currently all blue sky and 87 with dp 73.
-
WPC 5 am Advisory (continues moving east, has sped up to 14 mph, and weakened to 1007 mb - expected to dissipate within 24 hrs) -

The 2.12" was my final Henri event total and with that, I am now up to an incredible 8.97" for the month of August, with a 3.45" 8/19 deluge being the highest 1-day rainfall for the month to date (and 35.06" for the year to date). Am currently 73 with dp 71.

From Mt. Holly - The models that showed it loop-de-loop right into NNJ were SPOT ON! HUGE PNS (as of 3:37 pm) -

Latest WPC rainfall forecast - done in this area.

Got under a couple pop-ups that gave me an additional 0.15" so far, bringing my total to 2.12" for the event. Those Henri bands just keep on giving!
